About this episode

The episode features an interview with Emmy-nominated composer and sound designer Elizabeth Parker discussing her work on Doctor Who and Blake's 7.

Today our guest is Emmy-nominated composer and sound designer Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth worked with the BBC Radiophonic workshop from 1978 to the mid 90s. During that time she worked on over 1400 projects, two of which included Doctor Who. She worked on The Stones of Blood while Dick Mills was on holiday, and she composed the incidental music for the 1985 adventure, Timelash. Elizabeth also worked as the sound designer for Blake's 7 from series B onwards. We were thrilled to chat with Elizabeth about her career and her work on our favourite TV series.
